Chapter Five

It has been four days, and there has been no contact or sighting of my mate. Lenox has been investigating further information about her, but there is very little available. The most he has found out is her last known location. Which just so happens to be in this city, but where has she been staying that is a bigger question. I’m just going to have to trust that Lenox will be able to find out more info on her so I can finally be able to get to know her. As of right now this is just going to be a waiting game and pray to the moon goddess that she comes around.

As I wait, I start working on the paperwork for my new clients scheduled for this week. While shuffling through the files, I find Kieara’s file and notice that Oakley Lazar referred her. I recognize his name from a previous case. I rush to the filing cabinet, find his file, and hope it has an address where she might be staying. As soon as I find the address on file, I mind link Lenox.

  • Too Broken To Be Loved    Chapter Fifteen

    Lenox’s car stays a steady distance ahead of us, his taillights blinking through the trees as he takes the familiar turns with practiced ease. He’s always been a confident driver—smooth, fast, but never reckless. I don’t have to worry about him. He knows the territory better than anyone, and he knows exactly what we’re walking into.I’m not concerned he’ll do something unpredictable. If anything, I’m counting on him to keep things steady.But even with him leading the way, my attention keeps drifting to the backseat.Kieara sits behind me, posture straight, eyes fixed on the forest outside the window. She’s trying to look composed, but the bond gives her away—small pulses of tension, flickers of instinct, her wolf pacing under her skin. Not fear. Not panic. Just… alertness. A wolf preparing for unfamiliar ground.Oakley sits beside her, quiet and steady. His magic hums faintly in the air, warm and controlled, like a soft current running beneath the surface. He’s not doing anything

  • Too Broken To Be Loved    Chapter Fourteen

    The road home is familiar—every bend, every stretch of trees, every patch of sunlight flickering through the branches. I’ve driven it more times than I can count, but today it feels different. Not bad. Just… heavier. Like the air knows something important is happening.I keep one hand on the wheel, the other tapping lightly against my thigh. Not out of impatience—just habit. The forest is quiet, calm, and the steady hum of the engine gives me too much time to think.I glance in the rearview mirror. I can’t see Colton’s SUV clearly, but I know he’s back there. I can feel the tension rolling off him even from this distance. He’s trying to keep it together, trying to be the calm, collected Alpha he always is, but I know him too well.He’s worried. Not about the pack. Not about the logistics. About her.Kieara.She’s… something else. Strong, guarded, sharp around the edges but not brittle. The kind of person who stands her ground even when the world tries to shove her into a corner.

  • Too Broken To Be Loved    Chapter Thirteen

    The morning air is crisp when Oakley and I step out of the apartment building, my duffel slung over his shoulder like it weighs nothing. It’s early—too early for my wolf’s liking—but she’s alert, ears pricked, pacing just beneath my skin. She knows today matters. She knows we’re walking into something big.Oakley walks beside me, quiet but steady. His magic hums faintly, brushing against my senses like a warm breeze. It’s not intentional—his emotions always leak into the air around him—but it’s comforting. Familiar. A reminder that I’m not doing this alone.We round the corner of the building, and I spot the SUV parked at the curb.Colton is leaning against the driver’s side door, arms crossed, posture relaxed in a way that’s too deliberate to be natural. He’s trying not to look intimidating. Trying not to loom. Trying not to let the Alpha bleed through too strongly.My wolf notices anyway.His eyes lift the moment he senses us—sharp, assessing, but not unkind. Lenox stands a few

  • Too Broken To Be Loved    Chapter Twelve

    The apartment feels too still.Not quiet — still. Like the air itself is holding its breath. My wolf paces under my skin, restless, uneasy, sensing the shift in my emotions even before I fully understand them myself. Wolves don’t like change. Wolves don’t like uncertainty. And right now, I’m drowning in both.Oakley moves around the room behind me, his magic humming faintly in the air. It’s subtle, like a soft vibration against my senses, but my wolf notices it instantly. She always notices him. Not in a threatening way — more like she’s aware of him the way she’s aware of fire. Dangerous, but warm. Something to respect, not fear.He stands in the doorway of my room, watching me shove clothes into a duffel bag with far more force than necessary. “You don’t have to rush,” he says gently.“I’m not rushing.”My wolf snorts at the lie.Oakley steps inside, picking up a shirt I tossed aside and folding it neatly. His magic flickers around his fingers — a faint shimmer, like dust catc

  • Too Broken To Be Loved    Chapter Eleven

    The office feels different now.Not lighter—nothing about this situation is light—but the air isn’t pressing down on my lungs the way it was a few minutes ago. Something has shifted. Something subtle but unmistakable. And I’m not sure if that terrifies me more than the silence that came before it.Colton’s words are still hanging in the air, steady and unyielding. You’re not walking into that pack alone. It shouldn’t mean as much as it does. It shouldn’t make something in my chest loosen, shouldn’t make my pulse settle, shouldn’t make me feel… safer.But it does.And that scares me more than anything else in this room.I sit back slowly, unclasping my hands before I realize how tightly I’d been holding them together. My fingers ache from the pressure. Oakley notices—of course he does—and shifts slightly, like he’s ready to step in if I so much as wobble. He doesn’t say anything, but the quiet support radiating off him is almost enough to make my throat tighten.Almost.I force

  • Too Broken To Be Loved    Chapter Ten

    The office feels too damn quiet.Not the peaceful kind of quiet—this is the heavy, suffocating kind that settles over a room when everyone is thinking too much and saying too little. The four of us are still seated exactly where we were after the argument fizzled out: Oakley still sitting next to Kieara, posture stiff but calm; Lenox still standing behind Kieara like he’s trying to pretend he’s not invested; and Kieara across from me, spine straight, hands clasped tightly in her lap.She looks composed. But the bond tells me otherwise.Her emotions brush against me like faint static—uncertainty, tension, a flicker of fear she’s trying to bury. I don’t reach for it. I don’t push. I just sit with it, letting her have her privacy even if the bond makes that nearly impossible.I clear my throat, breaking the silence. “We need to talk about the move.”Kieara’s eyes lift to mine, guarded but steady. “So, talk.”Oakley shoots her a quick, worried glance, but she doesn’t notice.
